We’re looking for backend engineers to design and scale the systems that drive our developer and enterprise-facing products. In this role, you’ll architect and maintain the services and infrastructure that power OpenAI applications—from large-scale distributed systems and databases to APIs and data pipelines. You’ll collaborate closely with product, research, and infrastructure teams to bring new AI capabilities to production while ensuring performance, safety, and compliance at global scale.

In this role, you will:

• Own the end-to-end development lifecycle for new platform capabilities and integrations with other systems

• Collaborate closely with product, design and external customers to understand problems and implement effective solutions

• Work with the research team to improve our next generation of models

Your background might look something like:

• 2+ years of professional engineering experience (excluding internships) in relevant roles at tech and product-driven companies

• Former founder, or early engineer at a startup who has built a product from scratch is a plus

• Are proficient in one or more backend languages (e.g., Python, Go, Rust, Typescript or similar) and distributed systems concepts.

• Enjoy building infrastructure that supports billions of requests and petabytes of data.

• Care deeply about reliability, safety, and performance in production environments.

• Interest in AI/ML (direct experience not required)

• Proven ability to thrive in fast-growing, product-driven companies by effectively navigating loosely defined tasks and managing competing priorities or deadlines.
